The new feature lets users speak instead of typing across email, Slack, documents, AI prompts and more
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fireflies.ai, the AI Teammate used by teams at 75% of Fortune 500 companies, today launched Fireflies Talk, voice dictation built directly into the Fireflies desktop app. Fireflies Talk lets users speak naturally and turn their voice into clean text anywhere they can type, including email, Slack, documents, AI prompts and CRM fields.
Fireflies started as an AI notetaker and has since grown into the AI teammate for 20 million people across 1 million organizations. It briefs them in the morning, takes their notes, drafts their emails and reports, and updates their CRM. Fireflies Talk is the next step in this evolution, giving people a way to stop typing at work and simply say what they need. This newest launch follows the recent release of Email Assistant and Voice Agents.
“Fireflies started with a pretty simple idea: you shouldn’t have to spend a meeting typing everything down,” said Krish Ramineni, CEO and co-founder of Fireflies.ai. “We started using Talk ourselves and realized the same thing applies to the rest of the day. There are so many times when it’s easier to say what you mean than stop and type it out. Now our users can do that inside Fireflies for free without adding another subscription.”
Built for how teams work
- Speak instead of type: Dictate into email, Slack, documents, AI prompts, CRM fields and more.
- Cleans up as you go: Talk removes filler words and false starts, and formats the text, with no voice commands to learn.
- Formats for where you type: An email comes out like an email, a Slack reply like a Slack reply.
- Tags people in Slack: Say a teammate or group’s name and Talk turns it into an @mention.
- Works in 90+ languages: Users can dictate across languages without changing how they work.
- Included for everyone: Talk offers unlimited dictation on every Fireflies plan, including the free plan.
Standalone dictation apps typically charge $12 to $15 per month for unlimited use, while Fireflies includes unlimited dictation at no cost on every plan. It is available today on Mac and Windows, with mobile coming soon.
To use Fireflies Talk, users simply hold a key (Fn on Mac, Ctrl + Win on Windows), speak, and release, with clean text appearing wherever their cursor is. Dictations are stored on the user’s device. Fireflies doesn’t keep a copy, and no one at Fireflies or in the user’s workspace can see them. Dictations, just like meeting notes, are never used to train models. Fireflies is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant.
Fireflies plans to build on Talk over time as voice becomes a bigger part of how people work with their AI teammate.
